ADJUSTABLE STICKS
The length of both gimbal sticks can be adjusted as desired. 
Loosen the set screw inside the center of the stick with a 
2mm hex wrench. Rotate the stick end counter-clockwise to 
lengthen the stick, or clockwise to shorten the stick. Once 
the desired stick length is found, tighten the set screw with 
the hex wrench.
CHARGE JACK
WARNING!! Do NOT attempt to recharge 
alkaline batteries! The charge jack should 
ONLY be used if rechargeable cells are used 
in the transmitter.
The TTX404 includes a built-in charge jack for convenient 
recharging of NiCd or NiMH batteries, and is compatible 
with charge leads designed for Futaba
®
 brand transmitters. 
(HCAP0101) This jack is NOT compatible with charge leads for 
Hitec
®
, Airtronics
®
, JR
®
 or Spektrum
®
 radios. The compatible 
charge plug is shown in the picture below.
To use the charge jack with optional rechargeable batteries, 
fi rst remove the sticker that covers the charge jack on the 
side of the Tx – making sure not to allow any object to be 
inserted inside the jack itself. Next, insert the cells inside 
the Tx’s battery compartment noting proper polarity. Make 
sure the transmitter’s power switch is in the OFF position. 
Connect a compatible charge lead to the jack and follow the 
instructions included with the charger for charging of NiCd or 
NiMH batteries that are rated at 4.8V. 
Tactic’s optional TACP1000 rechargeable battery and wall 
charger kit includes eight “AA” size rechargeable NiMH cells 
and 110V AC wall charger. It is compatible with this Tx and 
can be found at local retailers. Make sure to follow the 
instructions included with the charge kit.
WARNING!! It’s not recommended to charge 
batteries at greater than 1 amp through this 
charge jack. Fast charging of NiCd and 
NiMH batteries should ONLY be done with 
chargers that are specifi cally designed to include the 
peak-detection function which can automatically stop 
charge when full charge is detected. Misuse, improper 
charging, or over-charging of rechargeable cells can 
result in damage to the cells that could include cell 
rupture, explosion, or fi re!!
TRAINER FUNCTION
The TTX404 Tx includes a built-in wireless trainer function 
– no trainer cable required! This trainer system connects a 
teacher’s Tactic Tx to a student’s Tactic Tx by wireless 
connection. Tactic’s wireless trainer function is not compatible 
with trainer systems in any other brand radios.
IMPORTANT! Before attempting to fly the 
airplane, it’s very important to make sure all 
reversing switches and trim lever adjustments 
on the student’s Tx match the settings on the 
teacher’s Tx! Otherwise, the airplane could suddenly veer 
off in an unwanted manner when the teacher’s trainer switch 
is pressed. Proper matching of the student and teacher’s Tx 
settings should ensure that no unexpected movements occur 
when the trainer switch is pressed. This is especially true of 
the throttle control!
1. The Tx that was used to setup the controls on the aircraft 
must be used by the TEACHER.
2. The student must use a separate Tactic Tx with wireless 
trainer function.
3. Place the teacher and student’s transmitters within 1 
meter of each other, and make sure the throttle stick 
for each Tx is set to idle.
4. Turn ON the power switch for the Tx being held by the 
student.
5. Pull and hold the trainer switch on the teacher’s Tx, and 
then turn ON the teacher’s Tx power switch.
